Elly-T: a light-grey elephant-shaped robot with pink ears and cheeks, picking up a sock with its trunk

Clothes, toys and paper end up on the floor. Someone always has to pick them up.

It happens every day, and it never stays done. Elly-T is built to do that part for you.

What it does

Find. Pick. Sort. Drop.

  1. Elly-T picks up a sock from the floor with its trunk
    Step 01

    Find and pick

    It explores the room and spots what is left on the floor. Its trunk gently picks up even soft, flat things.

  2. Elly-T carries the sock over its head
    Step 02

    Sort and carry

    It sorts what to keep and what to throw away.

  3. Elly-T drops the sock into a round bin
    Step 03

    Drop

    Each item goes into the right bin, and the floor is ready.

Floor clear? Elly-T can start the home's robot vacuum.

Where Elly-T is going

It starts with tidying and learns more over time.

  1. First version1. TidyPicks up light floor items, sorts them and drops them in the right bin.
  2. Planned2. Tidy smarterKnows more objects and puts each one in its own place.
  3. Planned3. Fetch and carryBrings light items to you.
  4. Planned4. Reach higherGets to items on tables and low shelves.

Steps 2 to 4 are our plan and aren't promised yet. Nothing has been tested so far. What real homes need will decide what comes next.

Why Elly-T

Made to live with a family.

Friendly by design

A cute elephant people welcome at home, not a machine they put up with.

AI that learns

It learns to handle real household items from human demonstrations, and keeps improving.

Safe around people

Soft bumpers, an emergency stop and stair detection, built in from the first prototype.

Roadmap

From design to homes.

  1. Nov 2026Design completeElly-T v1 is fully designed.
  2. Dec 2026Build beginsThe first parts of Elly-T are made.
  3. Q1 2027Picking provenElly-T learns to pick up real household items.
  4. Q2 2027First full tidyThe prototype finds, picks, sorts and drops, end to end.
  5. Mid 2027Home trialsPilot homes in Morocco and the UAE.
  6. After trialsProduct and next skillsWhat real homes teach us shapes the product version and the skills that come next.

Dates are targets.
